If you want a package, look to your distro’s package manager. There isn’t a mirror for nextcloud binaries.

I’m running OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Works great.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 4 days ago:
Updated to OpenSuSE Leap 16.0 with the autotool and it broke some things, but nothing terrible. Had to fix network config and add back Packman for ffmpeg for Jellyfin to work but that was about it

Using it right meow. Didn’t even know this was happening till I saw this post.
- Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? 5 days ago:
Oh sure. By all means play what you enjoy. Just wasnt what I enjoy.

I enjoyed it but the character arc resolutions were extremely rushed.

Nah I liked it too. It took some getting used to but it is strategic and it really gets absorbing.

Undertale was zero fun. Interesting story and I liked the graphics and music but the combat got extremely annoying, and I say this as someone who plays 8 bit (heck even 4 bit) combat games. I quit it.
- Comment on Great games you would recommend from before 1990? 1 week ago:
Star Flight. Really a must-play, and get the run speed down low so you have some suffering on the long trips. Then you get really excited to find a wormhole.

Yeah guess what happens when access starts to be app-only?

Is it? I just had a basic $5 a month machine so didn’t look too hard at it.

Vultr has been pretty good.

Easy to check. Get a ground/polarization tester and that will tell you much just by plugging it in.

Massive data storage streaming and backup and game servers. Disk space and CPU and bandwidth for that in the cloud would be…a lot. A lot a lot, vs a $150 rack server off EBay and a pile of used SAS drives.
Power is pretty cheap here though. All my machines run at about 150-250 watts total, that can add up if your costs are high.

Ive got the original box, CD and docs. I should break it out and see if it runs on dosbox. As I recall they used some Bakshi clips in it.
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 1 month ago:
Not too bad with LyX. Get templates and modify them. It is a learning curve but entirely doable.
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 1 month ago:
Yeah I got through school and could work just fine now with Calc. I’m sure it breaks when you get fancy but not that many people get that fancy.
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 1 month ago:
I swear typesetting your papers is worth half a grade point at least. Then once you find Zotero and realize it will automagically handle your citations and you have auto biblios and cites working in LyX…life changing, absolutely.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 1 month ago:
Some places are killing the web interface entirely and going app-only.

Oh man Ernest Seton Thompson. I read Wild Animals I Have Known when I was like 7 and it stuck with me.

I got some doordasher with a typoed email who is apparently constantly driving under the influence for doordasher because I keep getting reminders that that’s against Doordash policy

Opensuse still over here … Just being a computer.
Gave my mom a machine with Mint, havent heard a peep out of her.
